Felicity Jones the Black Cat?

There has been some great Amazing Spider-Man 2 news this week already and now we have more! First and foremost we have learned that Amazing Spider-Man 3 (2016) and 4 (2018) have been given release dates/ green lights.

The official word from Sony Pictures: “Pictures Entertainment now in production in New York on The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, slated for release on May 2, 2014, the studio is planting its flag on two future release dates for one of the most successful franchises in studio history, it was announced today by Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures. The next two films in the story of Peter Parker will be released on June 10, 2016, and on May 4, 2018, respectively.

Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt, and based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are the producers. The executive producers are E. Bennett Walsh, Stan Lee, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci.

The Amazing Spider-Man took in over $750 million at the worldwide box office last year”.

Now the latest news is that Felicity Jones will be playing Black Cat. A fact that she may or may not have confirmed in a recent interview (see below at the 1 minute mark). What is certain is that she is playing the Black Cat’s alter ego, Felicia Hardy in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Bleeding Cool.com popped the question during an interview for her most recent film Like Crazy.

Will she suit up in this film? Is her character just established here for future stories that already have release dates. With such an enormous cast already, is the tangled web of Peter Parker too heavy for one Black Cat?

No i dont buy it. She just sounds like she doesnt know the comic very well. Shes probably betty Brant and once the interviewer asked that she thought maybe betty turns into her later so she rolled with the question

She's a wee bit short, but she sure is cutie alright. A quick search of recent photos of shows her to be rather thin and scrawny. She's going to need the pack on at least 10 lbs of defined muscle to look even remotely bad ass.

But then again, the new Spiderman is rather unenjoyable, (the acting was atrocious!) was kind of hoping Sony would shelve this silliness for awhile... Or better yet maybe work with Marvel/Disney to have him appear in the Avengers.

How many characters are they adding in this movie? Didn't they learn their lesson with Spiderman 3?

Agree, Sony and Marvel should strike a deal or something to get Spidey in Avengers or crossover. If DC/WB gets their act together and get a JL movie done, Marvel is toast. DC/WB have the luxury of owning the rights to all of their big name characters.

Avengers are great but Spiderman is the biggest Marvel name. They need all A-list characters to compete.
